Bravo to the Princes for putting together a wonderful show in honor of their mother. I really enjoyed it. I loved the wide range of performers, from Elton to Kanye to the ballet, and the wonderful personal stories. Diana would be so happy!

The press is now saying she and William only split for 4 days, I obviously do not know if they are still dating but if not she was with William while planning this concert and should be there romance or not.

Now, i have no doubt: they back together! She was very "first-lady" in that box. And your mother was the "mum of the bride". It's a shame

Again I don't know if I read, or listened right..

You're right, he said once that he would never sing the song again. At first, it was dedicated to Marilyn Monroe but he hadn't met her. For Diana, it was like a special 'edition', you know what I mean ? Perhaps it's better he didn't sing it, would have remind me her death, not her birthday ...

The concert was FABULOUS, the boys did an excellent job. I wished the whole time I watched that I could have been there a part of it. Alas, I am on the wrong side of the ocean :-(....However the 'celebration' mood was absolutely translated across the Atlantic. I think my favorite part was when Nelly Furtado was singing 'Maneater' and William was swinging his arms. What a cool guy!

I think that the boys & all involved did a wonderful Job. Like someone said, she is looking down & enjoying herself. The boys did their mother proud today & also, did themselves proud also. Job well done.

Yes, I totally agree.

& Frankly, I am very very glad that Elton did not Sing CITW. You don't won't to end on that sad note. & am happy that he did not sing that song.

Well I'm a year younger than Diana and my first album was Elton John and I grew up with Donny Osmond but Tom Jones is even a little before my time!

I don't care Elton John is good no matter how old he is. I never was a fan of Duran Duran though and couldn't understand why Diana was a fan. Duran Duran appealed more to my sister's generation that was about 10 years younger than Diana. My generation really didn't care for them that much.

I was thinking of Tom Jones (okay, a national icon), Rod Stewart and, yikes, Donny Osmond. Elton John I adore, although I can remember when people thought he was straight -- although he stopped producing the good music when he got clean. And have Duran Duran been in storage all this time?? They were popular for about 15 minutes. (But to be honest, I hardly know any of the "new" popular stars. )

Thank you to the Princes for organising this excellent tribute to their mother. Thank you to Avalon and others who diligently posted these pictures. I, too, was like 'The Truth' - could not access any direct coverage. These pictures convey to me a wonderful, happiness pervaded concert. What a beautiful way to remember the one and only Diana.
